Pulse’s read

Greed is building.

Momentum is on the bulls' side and trends can extend, but risk rises as more traders pile in late.

Use the index as context, never as an entry signal on its own. Pair it with price levels and a stop-loss.

How traders use it

Limits you should know

The index is a daily snapshot, not a timing tool. Markets can stay greedy or fearful for weeks. That’s why QuantPulse combines it with price zones, trend and funding before flagging any setup.
